Here are the five things that make this week different in Gainesville.
It really began as Saturday became Sunday.
It's game week.
And there is nothing really like it.
Certainly, the big-game weeks have a certain feel to them as butterflies start to spread their wings in the stomachs of fans all around the country. But this week is different from all of the rest because it's the first one of the season.
It's also the end of the active celebration of the previous year. Florida is no longer the national champions once the first football is kicked off this week.
But that's the beauty of the first game week. It may not feel like fall, but it's no longer summer no matter what the calendar says.
It's football season.
And here are the five things that make this week different in Gainesville from all of the sticky weeks before it.
1. The practices
During the dog days of two-a-days, the goal of every player is to make it to game week. This is when things really start to change. Instead of beating up on each other in the endless summer heat, the contact tapers off a little bit and the focus turns to the opponent. The game plan goes in today and the rest of the week is spent trying to perfect it against the scout team. Practices remain physical, especially on what Urban Meyer calls Bloody Tuesday. But by Thursday, the hitting stops and the main goal is to get those legs back in time for Saturday's game. Friday is special because that's when the Gators have their walk-through in shorts at The Swamp. Then it's off to the team hotel, followed by dinner, a movie and then, hopefully, a good night's sleep.
2. The atmosphere
The weather doesn't have to change for you to know it's different. Game week comes with electricity and nervous tension. So it's Western Kentucky, a team with a mascot that looks as if it escaped from the set of "The Doodlebops." It's still a game where they keep score and there is a winner and a loser. Flags start to fly from car windows this week. Establishments get creative with their display signs. A sense of pride comes over the community on game week. You can close your eyes and taste the tailgate food, smell the barbecue grills working. Some fans wear the colors starting today. Some start partying Thursday. And for the first time since the bowl game, you start breaking down the opposition.
3. The calendar
Weeks fly by in the summer so quickly you aren't sure if it's Monday or Tuesday. Game week isn't like that. You know it's Monday because Urban Meyer has his first game week news conference. Tuesday is the new hump day because by Wednesday you can already feel the Thursday night game coming. Glorious Thursday nights. The first college football game of the season takes place on Thursday night. Whoever thought of this should win something, some kind of prize. So Thursday is filled with plans for the weekend and talk about whether Mississippi State has a chance against LSU. Thursday night starts the weekend. Who really works on Friday? Because Friday is clock day. You start to watch it. It's 28 hours until kickoff. 27, 26, etc. Saturday is, well, Saturday. Sunday is a day of rest. And a brand new game week
4. The stadium
For the last three months it has been where energy goes to die. All of those steps, all of that heat. Get it done early because the stadium is locked down Thursday at 5 p.m. All summer, you can hear a pin drop in the bowels. But once it gets to be game week, that all changes. Trucks and golf carts zoom through the tunnels taking supplies to concession stands and skyboxes. Blue chairbacks are installed in thousands of seats. And then comes Thursday when they begin the two-day process of painting the field. Like a beautiful woman putting on her make-up, it's gorgeous. A little eyeliner here, some chalk there. The end zones standing out in orange and blue brilliance. The grass so green you want to chunk a wedge out of it. If the stadium were alive, it would be preening.
5. The businesses
They wait for this, restaurants and bars and anybody who sells anything Gator. With the students gone, they try to survive the summer but nothing makes a business run like the combination of students returning and game week. Got enough ice? Let's get a tent this year. How many chairs? Make sure you order enough ribs and cole slaw and don't forget the sweet tea. Did somebody say wings? It's crazy around here, especially if you don't have enough staff on hand. But that's what makes it great. That's what makes it game week.

The process of learning the Alexander Technique shines a light on habitual patterns that interfere with efficiency and ease. As you learn to un-do posture and movement habits that contribute to tension and pain, you practice choosing ways of being and moving mindfully with balance, ease and efficiency.
As an active exploration with a teacher, learning the technique is done in daily life activities, from sitting at a computer to walking or exercising, to playing an instrument or meditating.
The principles may be simple, but they are not necessarily easy. And it takes a while to integrate them into your life. Most people need about 10 lessons to get a good start on changing the way they sit, stand, walk and do their other activities. New neuro-muscular patterns have to be practiced to become new (healthy) habits. But just like riding a bike, once learned, the Technique stays with you for life.
The Alexander Technique works by initially establishing the ideal relationship between the head, the neck and the back while in movement. This "core" of the body supports the limbs and provides the structural environment for breathing and the internal organs. As tension lessens and spaciousness returns, the nervous system is calmed and the state of being enlivens.
While learning to access this natural relationship between the head, neck and back from the inside, students learn body awareness, spatial awareness, movement awareness and how to calm their own nervous system. Long-held patterns of movement, posture, breath, voice and unhelpful ways of thinking can be released and new patterns of whole being balance emerge. As capacity for somatic embodiment increases, students learn to respond with choice rather than react from habit.

Happy birthday Ferdinand Porsche!
Ferdinand Porsche (September 3, 1875—January 30, 1951) was an Austrian-Hungarian automotive engineer. He is best known for his creation of the brand of sports cars, Porsche.
Porsche was born in Bohemia, then a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. At a young age, he became interested in mechanics and attended the Imperial Technical School in Reichenberg. When he was 18, he got a job at Béla Egger Electrical company. While there, he developed the electric hub motor.
By 1898, Porsche was working for Jakob Lohner & Co, the company that created coaches for the Austrian emperor. In 1898, they released their first "car," called the e "System Lohner-Porsche." The car became the basis for a more powerful four-wheel drive car with electric motors on all four wheels. This model was shown at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900.
In 1901, Porsche had developed his model to include an internal combustion engine, making it the first petroleum electric hybrid vehicle on record.
In 1902, he was drafted into the military and served as chauffeur to Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
In 1906, he was recruited as chief designer at Austro-Daimler. By 1926, he was named technical director at Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft's in Weimar, Germany.
In 1931, Porsche left Daimler to form his own firm. In 1934, he became involved in Adolf Hitler's "people's car" project. With his son at his side, he developed the Volkswagen. Later known as the Beetle, the car was mass produced throughout Europe. Beginning in 1942, Porsche designed military vehicles. After the war, he and his son were arrested by the French as war criminals.
While incarcerated, Porsche's son designed the Cisitalia, a sports car. This laid the groundwork for their historic Porsche sports car, revealed in 1950.
In 2009 the Porsche Museum opened in Zuffenhausen, Germany.

Ok so this maybe quite a rant but at 5.30 am when the house is quite Im going to share my thoughts and put it out there. Is it ok to Steal?
Would you go into a shop and say "Cant afford that but I like it! Doesn't matter I will take it? Sounds crazy hey?!
But no its the same when people go to a photographers web site and do a screen grab of an image of their daughter, friend or family member and cut our water marks and share it all over Facebook. Some people may think, thats ok it's free advertising for the photography? Humm no!! There is nothing worse than seeing your image that you have worked hard on, edited it and then someone takes a photo of it and shares a bad low res image.
You may think Im blowing this out of content and maybe I am, but this keeps happening, not just to me but other photographers who spend hours editing their newborn baby images, family images or events. The biggest comment I get is "its too much money" "Im not buying it" "£20 for a digital image" "How much?" Ok £20 does sound a lot for a digital image, but you then get to keep that image, get it printed as many times as you like, thats your choice. Or if £20 is too much you could purchase a 7x5 print at £7. Or if you don't like the prices don't steal! Easy...
Well if you think about getting a photograph done of your son or daughter at an event, you must think, hold on a minute this is not going to be free? I will have to pay something for a image. As the photographer has turned up and is taking 100's of photos for an event for free, so to earn money out of this (yes it is a business) I go to work just like you do. The fact that Im a free lance photographer and you may work in office is still the same, I still have bills to pay like everyone else.
I suppose my point is why bother? Why would you want an image that is cropped to the side of your daughters face or just to the top of her head and is so small you can't really do much with it apart from sharing it on Facebook. So next time you see a fab image that looks a bit strange as the image is cropped wrong you may just think that someone likes to steal things. Just because digital images are not something you hold in your hands like a new coat or a new pair of boots its still stealing!!!!
So for all my customers past and present I have finally gotten around to changing my logo which covers the whole photo. I am sad that I had to do this as i love showing a viewing gallery with no distraction but this has happened to many times. My new watermark logo is be the following below.
So next time you really want that image think about what has gone into getting it. Its not just about a photographer taking a photo, its about running a business.

Blog Post
Jesus Christ Pantokrator
The icon of Jesus Christ Pantokrator is one of the most common religious images of Orthodox Christianity. Generally speaking, in Medieval eastern roman church art and architecture, an iconic mosaic or fresco of Christ Pantokrator occupies the space in the central dome of the church, in the half-dome of the apse, or on the nave vault. Some scholars (Latourette 1975: 572) consider the Pantocrator a Christian adaptation of images of Zeus, such as the great statue of Zeus enthroned at Olympia. The development of the earliest stages of the icon from Roman Imperial imagery is easier to trace.
The image of Jesus Christ Pantokrator was one of the first images of Jesus Christ developed in the Early Christian Church and remains a central icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the half-length image, Christ holds the New Testament in his left hand and makes the gesture of teaching or of blessing with his right. The typical Western Christ in Majesty is a full-length icon. In the early Middle Ages, it usually presented Christ in a mandorla or other geometric frame, surrounded by the Four Evangelists or their symbols.
The oldest known surviving example of the icon of Christ Pantocrator was painted in encaustic on panel in the sixth or seventh century, and survived the period of destruction of images during the Iconoclastic disputes that twice racked the Eastern church, 726 to 787 and 814 to 842. It was preserved in Saint Catherine's Monastery, in the remote desert of the Sinai. The gessoed panel, finely painted using a wax medium on a wooden panel, had been coarsely overpainted around the face and hands at some time around the thirteenth century. When the overpainting was cleaned in 1962, the ancient image was revealed to be a very high-quality icon, probably produced in Constantinople.
The icon, traditionally half-length when in a semi-dome, which became adopted for panel icons also, depicts Jesus Christ fully frontal with a somewhat melancholy and stern aspect, with the right hand raised in blessing or, in the early encaustic panel at Saint Catherine's Monastery, the conventional rhetorical gesture that represents teaching. The left hand holds a closed book with a richly decorated cover featuring the Cross, representing the Gospels. An icon where Christ has an open book is called "Christ the Teacher", a variant of the Pantocrator. Christ is bearded, his brown hair centrally parted, and his head is surrounded by a halo. The icon is usually shown against a gold background comparable to the gilded grounds of mosaic depictions of the Christian emperors.
Often, the name of Christ is written on each side of the halo, as IC and XC. Christ's fingers are depicted in a pose that represents the letters IC, X and C, thereby making the Christogram ICXC (for "Jesus Christ"). The IC is composed of the Greek characters iota (Ι) and lunate sigma (C; instead of Σ, ς)—the first and last letters of 'Jesus' in Greek (Ἰησοῦς); in XC the letters are chi (Χ) and again the lunate sigma—the first and last letters of 'Christ' in Greek (Χριστός). An example of the early pre-400 AD Greek "IC XC" shorthand is available at | Here | and scrolling down to Matt. 1:16.
In many cases, Christ has a cruciform halo inscribed with the letters Ο Ω Ν, i.e. ὁ ὢν "He Who Is".

Just how well did Derek Carr's jersey sell in the past year?
The Oakland Raiders star quarterback had the seventh-best selling jersey from April 1, 2016, to Feb. 28, 2017, according to NFLShop.com.
Carr's No. 4 jersey, however, was a best-seller in California.
Carr's teammates, defensive player of the year Khalil Mack, checked in at No. 14 among the best sellers and wide receiver Amari Cooper came in at 22nd.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had the top-selling jersey, while Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski rounded out the top five.
Rounding out the top 10: Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (sixth), Carr (seventh), Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (eighth), Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant (ninth) and Cowboys tight end Jason Witten (10th).

There's a saying about laughing all the way to the bank. I recently had a case of laughing at the bank. I was running some errands, one of which was to cash two cheques that were in payment for writing projects. As I handed them over, I had a little Milestone Moment – those moments where fairy dust gets magically sprinkled over a routine situation and everyone pauses to grin giddily in acknowledgement of a well-deserved mark of success. Okay, not everyone was grinning giddily, but I was. Because I had allowed myself to pause long enough to acknowledge that I

The influence leaders have on organizational culture cannot be overstated. Leadership and organizational culture are intricately connected. And this connection has enormous significance in helping establish, sustain, and (if needed) change organizational culture.
Leaders play a crucial role in shaping the way employees think and behave – which ultimately influences culture. In short, we set the tone for culture. The culture of an organization is largely driven by what leaders value, how we behave, and in turn what we communicate both explicitly and implicitly. Employees are looking to us to determine if our values and behavior are consistent with what we say our culture is.
This all matters because culture is the heart of an organization. Our culture serves as the vessel in which we inspire others to work towards a shared vision. At a fundamental level our culture results in employees either liking or not liking where they work. If our culture is strong, engagement, performance, and productively will be high. Whereas if our culture is weak, overall performance will suffer.
If you are struggling to establish a strong organizational culture, I encourage you to look closely at the role leadership plays. I encourage you to honestly assess your culture and the impact leaders have on it. A strong culture requires strong leadership.

I am always harpin on about how important the music is for your big day....the key is to find not only a performer who is top notch, but also someone who can advise you on what actually works in the given scenario! One of the good things for me about my job is that the location and set up is changing constantly as I travel around Ireland. One day a civil ceremony in a hotel, the next a mass in a fabulous chapel. Every wedding is different but my wish is to make that day as special as the one that came before and the one that will follow after.
Civil ceremonies in Hotels need not be restrictive. There are some fabulous and creative people now who will be able to set up your event in the most romantic of fashions. One such person is Victoria in The Wedding Room. This photo shows her beautiful set up last week in the gorgeous and lovingly restored vintage building that is Portrush Town Hall. She is based in Coleraine and is a joy to work with...your wish will be her command!
Once you have the layout of the room sorted, its on to the music. Because of the logistics, you need someone who can move in easily and create the ambiance.Enter Harpie!
I have done many civil ceremonies now in lots of different scenarios and its my idea that the service should be sculpted around the music. Most of these ceremonies cannot have any religious content so that has to be considered when chosing the repertoire. I have a good choice of music and songs...contact me for advice.
If you are set on a religious ceremony in church, then there are loads of possibilities.
Last week saw a lovely wedding mass in Belfast. In this particular ceremony I gave a harp recital at the start and then moved to the Gallery for the brides entry on a fabulous 3 manual pipe organ. I sang various parts of the mass from the gallery and the accoustic added so much to this. Then it was back to the harp for the signing of the registry. and finally back to the organ for a big flurry of an exit. (here I am playing Widor Toccata...I always have to sneak that in before I pack up and go home!!!!) So variation can be the order of the day, if you are in church. I have a wide selection of music for mass and church service both with a good selection of traditional and more modern hymns that will get that congregation singing their hearts out!!!

Multi-Ego is a screamo/post-hardcore band from Beijing, China.The band grew out of the campus of Beijing Contemporary Music Academy in late 2008, consisting of guitarists Yu Chen, Liu Zhe shortly after they began the first school semester. Half a year later came the bass player Guo Changhai and the lead vocalist Hang Yu (from Communication University of China). Similar to many other bands stemming from Tongzhou, Beijing, the integrity of the band lineup in its early days had always been challenged by the cruelty of reality. In March 2010,the former drummer left for the Raving Radio and the band started an interval for three months. Three months later the present drummer Miao Wei(from Moonless Archeron) joined in and got the band running again. The band was chosen as brand spokesman for the GOOKIE 2010 line. ► More Information

Men would not be human, if they stopped making war at some point. Peace didn't last a long time… During the Hundred Years War in the fourteenth and fifteenth century the vineyards of the Champagne were destroyed completely.
But just as if men would not be human without an endless series of conflicts, they wouldn't be human if they would lean back after a catastrophy. After the war the winegrowers started all over with the plantation of vines. The villages grew and expanded more and more.
In the middle of the seventeenth century, all the wines that were created in this region were very successful. But again men would not be human if they didn't kept looking for improvement. And that was exactly what the winemakers in the valley of the Marne did in that period. They started the production of a grey wine (vin gris) based on the grape Pinot Noir. Grapes were harvested in the early morning, and they were pressed very slowly, to make sure the first juice didn't colour. The wine that was obtained in that matter sparkled in a beautiful way, and one could keep it for a long time.
Because the monks pressed grapes from different races and different parcels they made assemblages before the word existed.
The mythical story of Dom Perignon is situated in that same period. He is without any doubt the most famous monk of the Champagne. He didn't only try to improve Champagne by turning assemblage into an art, he also indulged in the secrets of that sparkling wine he loved so much. He did so in his abbey at Hautvillers. One of his most notable quotes as he tasted his first glass of sparkling Champagne:
Come quick, I taste the stars.
Exactly what I think every time I bring a glass of this delicious golden moisture to my mouth
That sparkling, la prise de mousse as the French call it, one can write poems about it. What a wonder of nature, refined by human!!
And discovered by coincidence!!
At the little village of Aÿ, man used a local manner to obtain a sparkling wine. That wine was the Tocane. This was a fermented wine with variable acidity. Because of the northern climate in the region the grapes were harvested quite late in the season. The fermentation of the most (new wine) in the barrels stopped during winter because of the cold. Only in spring the fermentation started again, most of the carbon dioxide escaped from the barrels. Depending on the weather during winter time and the period in which the wine was consumed, the wine would be more or less sparkling.
Gradually the Champenois, with Dom Perignon ahead, learned to control this sparkling. At first,lots of wine was lost in the search for constant quality. Especially because a lot of bottles exploded as the pressure in the bottles became to high.
Some facts:
- In 1685 the first cork was used in the Champagne region.
- In 1735 a bottle was developed in thicker glass. It resisted the higher pressure in the Champagne bottles.
- In 1816 pupitres or racks were used for the remuage or turning of the Champagne bottles.
- In 1820 sugar is added to stimulate the sparkling of the Champagne.
A very short history of Champagne. The only thing you have to remember is that this drink is unbelievably delicious, and not always as expensive as everyone believes.

List of Title 1 Schoolsby Jessica Kaufman
According to the U.S. Department of Education, "more than 50,000 public schools across the country use Title I funds to provide additional academic support and learning opportunities to help low-achieving children master challenging curricula and meet state standards in core academic subjects." Knowing this statistic, the importance of Title I funding could not be more apparent.
What is Title 1?
Title I is a federally funded educational grant meant to provide "financial assistance to LEAs [Local Educational Agencies] and schools with high numbers or high percentages of poor children to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards," as stated by the U.S. Department of Education. Title I provides schools with funding to support extra instruction throughout the academic and calendar year to supplement regular school instruction. This extra instruction can come in many forms, such as supplemental curriculum development, after-school programs or specialized instruction.
In order to be eligible for Title 1 funding, an application must be filed through the SEA or State Educational Agency. The allocation of grants is calculated based on the census poverty estimates and adjusted for each state based on the cost of education. There are three basic types of grants for which a LEA or SEA can be eligible: basic, concentration and targeted. Basic grants are awarded to LEAs where the number of children exceeds 2 percent of the school-age population and at least 10 children were counted. Concentration grants go to LEAs where 15 percent of the total school-age population is considered poor or those considered poor exceeds 6,500 children. Lastly, targeted grants are weighted so that LEAs with more poor children receive more funds. The allocations are calculated similar to concentration and basic grants and are given to LEAs "where the number of poor children is at least 10 and at least 5 percent of the LEA's school-age population," according to the U.S. Department of Education.
The U.S. Department of Education offers numerous resources regarding Title I funding, and it is here that the most information is housed. The information ranges from complex legal factors to simplified explanations. It is from this department that a list of all schools and local educational agencies receiving Title I funding can be found. The department supplies breakdowns by state that are then alphabetized by school. Each school receiving Title I funding is listed with the total amount of funds received, maximum amount allotted for transportation and supplemental programs, and maximum per-child expenditure. The most recent information is for 2008.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Rochester, NY
Rochester, New York Attorneys Fight for Motorcycle Accident Victims in Monroe and Wayne Counties
As motorcycles become an increasingly popular mode of transportation in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and many other places throughout the country, motorcycle accidents are becoming more prevalent. This poses a particular problem for motorcycle riders who are at increased risk of injury in the event of a crash because they are unprotected by the body of a car and exposed to roadway dangers such as other vehicles and bad weather.
Moreover, many people have a tendency to mistakenly blame motorcyclists for accidents that may have been caused by the other driver. A major reason for this unfair assessment of blame is that motorcyclists are wrongly perceived as dangerous risk takers.
Whether you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, car accident, truck accident or another type of motor vehicle crash in Rochester, Greece, Henrietta, Livingston or anywhere else in Upstate New York, the experienced personal injury attorneys at LaDuca Law Firm will work tirelessly to get the compensation you deserve. We understand how difficult it can be to cover medical bills and other expenses after suffering a serious motorcycle accident-related injury. We will do whatever it takes to get you on the road to recovery.
Common Types of Severe Injuries Suffered in NY Motorcycle Accidents
Although any motor vehicle accident can lead to serious injuries, motorcycle accidents often result in the most severe injuries because motorcyclists are unprotected in the event of a crash. The truth is that no matter how safe you try to be while out riding, you can still sustain significant injuries in a motorcycle collision. Even if you are involved in a single-vehicle crash caused by inclement weather, slick roads or a manufacturer error or defect, the physical damage sustained in a crash can be catastrophic.
While an enclosed vehicle generally means that car drivers and passengers are protected by the body of the car, motorcyclists are unprotected by doors or a roof. Obviously, motorcyclists are not protected by airbags or seatbelts. As a result, a motorcycle crash can lead to direct contact between the motorcyclist and the pavement. Some of the most common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents include:
Broken bones: When motorcyclists make direct contact with the road, whether it is because they are thrown from their motorcycle or pinned underneath their bike, the result is often broken bones and fractures.
Road rash: Motorcyclists suffer road rash injuries when they are thrown from their bikes and skid across the pavement. Road rash occurs when layers of skin are torn from a person's body as a result of contact with the road. This may not seem serious at first but, if not treated properly, simple road rash can turn into a very serious infection of the skin.
Skin lacerations: It is not uncommon for a motorcycle accident injury victim to suffer severe lacerations that lead to permanent scarring and disfigurement.
Head and spinal cord injuries: A catastrophic motorcycle accident can lead to traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. A helmet can protect a motorcyclist, but even the best helmets can only do so much to shield the head from a violent impact.
Wrongful death: Not every motorcyclist walks away from a serious motorcycle accident. In fact, the vast majority of bikers in crashes leave the scene via ambulance and often medevac helicopter. That's why NY law provides loved ones with a way to seek justice and get compensation for wrongful death.
What Should You Do if You Were Involved in a Motorcycle Accident in New York?
If you have been involved in any type of motor vehicle accident, such as a motorcycle crash or auto collision, the first thing you should do is seek medical treatment. Even if you believe that your injuries are minor, let a doctor take a look at you. Many times, motorcycle accident-related injuries do not became apparent for days or even weeks after the crash.
Once you have been checked out by a qualified doctor, you need to speak with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer at LaDuca Law Firm. It is imperative that you have an attorney on your side because you may need compensation to pay your medical bills in the weeks, months and years ahead. A skilled personal injury attorney can help you get damages for your injuries and lost wages so that you can cover your medical expenses and rehabilitation costs. Further, when you have been injured due to someone else's negligence you want justice and you deserve maximum compensation for pain and suffering and other injuries.

Congress is expected to agree Friday on a $1.1 trillion spending bill to keep the government open. Inside the deal is a $1.2 billion increase in spending for the Department of Education, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Most of that increase goes to two federal programs for disadvantaged students.
Title I, the portion of federal law that gives extra funding to schools with high portions of students living in poverty, receives a $500 million annual boost in the spending deal. But a November study from the Brookings Institution found the now $14.9 billion program is largely ineffective. Most program funds get spent on ineffective services, such as teacher professional development, that research has shown not to be useful.
The Individuals with Disabilities Act, a special education program, gets a $415 million boost in the spending deal, bringing it to an $11.9 billion cost per year.
Federal funding for charter schools gets an $80 million boost, up to $333 million a year.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com
